I use tstz since my testing with Postgres showed that dbt rendered a tstz. It might end up being adapter specific so this could change after more testing.

One behavior difference between dbt microbatch and SQLMesh incremental by time range is that dbt microbatch, by default, includes the date filter for you. You can opt-out of this by adding a
.render()after the ref. This PR adds that functionality.Some tricky parts of this:
EventTimeFilterhappens in two stages on SQLMesh - one when we load to record the event column and then at execution we add the start/endBETWEENin the expression. Therefore the end is made exclusive. An alternative approach is to patch the filter render method to have it use between which you can see that implementation in this commit: a595791
